Now York contains about 300 orches-
trial players capable of taking part in
musical performances of the highest
class. Mr.. Thomas orchestra at the fes-
tival In tho Seventh regiment armory In
1881 contained 800 players, and DR..
Damrosch's of the year previous $50. In
both cases musicians were brought from
other cities, because it was, of course,
impossible to command the services of all
the capable players in New York for
these monster occasions; but there are
the number mentioned Of good orches-
trail musicians in the city. Counting all
the members OF military bands, theatrical
orchestras, makers Of dance music, and
others in humber walks of the art, the
musical population foots up over 5000.
1t is doubtful whether any city in the
world contains SO many musicians as
New York, or pays the better class of
them sc well. Many make sufficient
money during the regular season of nine
months, from September to June, to ena-
BILE them to devote the summer to rest
and relaxation. Dozens of the leading
players go to Germany in the summer to
revisit their old homes, for the vast ma
jority of the professional musicians Of
America are German by birth. Native
born Americans have not as yet como to
look upon music as q means Of Gveli-
hood.-New York Tribune.

The criminal classes in Mexico are
among the most accomplished artists in
their line to be found anywhere on the
face of the earth, and possess, moreover,
a marvellous power of Stimulating inno-
cence, which enables them to impose
upon the most i~nCredulous. They en-
ploy tho latter faculty to great advantage
in securing situations as servants, in
which capacity they find ample cope for
their genius. If you detect them in
thieving and discharge or punish them,
their v-indictiveness knows no bounds,
and they will boldly threaten future ven
geance. Nor are they slow in connecting
schemes to that end with sundry gentle
men of tho garrote or the stiletto who
outwardly as respectable as anybody
prowl the streets nightly in the interests
Of their employers. The pleasant posi-
bilities are that some fine evening, when
you least expect it-perhaps as you are
returning from the opera, humming a
favorlte moroccan, or revolving sweet
plans for love or lucre-such fancies will
DO dispelled by a sudden rain of cudgels
upon your devoted head, or, worse vet,
by the keen thrust of a habaja into the
back Of your best claw hammer coat Just
between the shoulders. If you be not
killed outright and yell for the police, the
chances are ten to n (you being a
foreigner) that the assassins will assert,
in voluble Spanish, that you attempted to
murder them, and the police will finish
what they failed to accomplish.-Irish
Times.

A recent story about the disappearance
Of the sardine is said by reputable i'm
porters in this city to apply only to the
poorer grades. These have been usually
packed for export. 1t is now said that
packers on the coast of Brittany, France,
have secured some Of the finest of these
delicate fish. More especially is this the
case at Etel, Concarneau and st. Giles.
One packer of Brittany has cured this
season 10, 206 cases Of 100 boxes each,
which, on the average of fifteen sardines
to the box, will make nearly 20, 900, 900
fish. The fish being large, well selected
and delicate, and packed in pure olive
oil, command a good price, as they have
no competitor Of consequence in the
poorer grades. A portion of this catch
has already reached the United States. It.
commands at retail forty cents q box f0
the boneless sardine and thirty cents for
the plain New York Mail and Express.

ROYAL SALARIES IN EUROPE.
A Brief Sermon Against MonarohIcaI Gov
ernment-Big Pay for Doing Little. @,

A Brief Sermon Against Monarchical Gov
ernment-Big Pay for Doing Little.
A table recently prepared shows the
royal salaries paid in Europe, and it forms
interesting reading for those who have
an idea that our own government is con
Quoted on a wasteful and extravaganza
plan.
The emperor of Russia receives So, $780,
900 per annum; the sultan of Turkey,
So, 600, 900; the emperor of Austria, 81
900, 900; the king of Prussia, 49, 900, 900;
the king of Italy, So, 400, 900; the queen
of England, So, 200, 900; the queen of
Spain, 81, SOC, 900, and the king of Bel
GUM, $500, 900.
What a sermon against monarchical
government this brief table contains.
Eight persons, men and women-for
kings and queens are nothing more-re-
ceive each year in the aggregate $2S, $780,
900 for doing what? For doing nothing
that hundreds-maybe thousands-of
their subjects could no do Just as well
and possibly much better. Some of these
monarchs get their salaries for really
doing nothing. Queen Victoria, for ex-
ample, has absolutely no function to per-
form except to represent in her royal per-
son the idea of dominion and sovereignty.
She has no part in the government of the
country. The most irrepressible Irish
member of parliament does more and has
more to say about ruling the empire than
Victoria has; and yet because she is what
she is, the mere eidolon of a bygone au-
tocracy, her loving subjects pay her over
50, 900, 900 every year for her own use
and benefit.
The king of Prussia receives So, 900, O0G
a year as compensation for his arduous
royal duties; and when it is considered
that he is the emperor of Germany, thai
he is a man over 90 years of age, and
that the reins of government have beer
for years in the hands of Bismarck, il
must be admitted that, judged by repub
lican standards, he does not earn his
salary.
Probably the car of Russia performs
as much or more actual labor than an
reiCning sovereign in Europe. The form
of government of Russia being a despot
ism, the car must necessarily center al
authority in himself and be, In fact az
well as name, the fountain and source OF
all authority. But even for his duties.
irksome, multifarious and difficult though
they may be, $3.50, 600 is more thai
Iney are WorIn, especially In view OF tint
financial condition of Russia and the i'm
mense drain upon her resources.
The people Of the United States thought
they were doing a wonderful thing when
they increased the presidents salary from
$25, 900 a year to $50, 900; and yet the
larger amount is only a trife over two
days salary of the emperor of Russia,
while at the same time the United States
is really better able to pay the president
the cars salary than Russia is to pay the
car the presidents salary.
Royalty is simply an enormously ex-
pensive luxury, with nothing to recon-
mend it except tradition and precedent,
and the only wonder is that it can keep
its hold so long on intelligent and pro-
gressive nations in this age Of the world.

birth Mr.. Disraeli went to reside at Theo-
bald's road, and / nave often been taken
there by my father. When he left Theo-
bald's road and went to reside in Blooms

when there, and when l was between 8
and 10 years of age, my father consulted
Mr.. Disraeli as to where to send me to
school, and he recommended the Rev.
John Potticany, of Elliott place, Black
heath, where he had placed Benjamin

was his nephew and taught in the school,
which accounts for the mistakes made in
other reports.
When my father took me to school he
handed me over to Ben, as he always
called him. looked up to him as a big
boy, n very kind he was to me, making
me sit next to him in play hours, and
amusing me with stories of robbers and
caves, illustrating them with rough pencil
sketches, which he continually rubbed
out to make way for fresh ones. He
was Il very rapid reader, was fond of
romances, and would often let me sit by
him and read the same book. good

till he knew l had reached the bottom of

Ben Rex is a native cowboy living three
miles from Auburndale. He brought
some sweet milk in bottles to Auburndale
Wednesday, and Ben was a pleasing type
of the cracker as q milkman. Holding a
bottle in one hand and an old fashioned
cowbell swinging loose OH a rawhide
belt In the other, Ben let the .'town
folks know what a kind Of q boy he is.
Ben Rex Jas learned a great many little
things since the South Florida railroad
was completed through these lonesome
pine hills three years ago. He was seated
on a grindstone in front Of Patterson's
store, Wednesday morning. when with
twinkling eyes he related how, loon after
the railroad came, he stole a ride part of
the way home.
He said: IL got on the car step and the
train lit out. There is a big crook in the
road about a mile from town, and
lowed they would check up goin' round
that and 1 could jump off easy enough.
Instead o. that they got faster and faster.
A little furder on there's a trussel and ]
was certain they would sorter stop, but
they kept gittin' faster and faster. I had
a pickle dish in one hand and says l, j
must go home to my wife and children,
shore. I steadys myself and jumps square
out from that car. I didn't know much
for two hours. l got up 100 feet from
where / first Lit. l was all tore up. II
was a rainin' some white sand and oak
leaves when 1 left there. / lost my
pickle dish and it never mas been found

I've got a mind ter sue the railroad for it.

Chocolate" said a confectioner, lis
made from beans that grow in pods on
the cacao tree. These trees are numer-
u in the West Indies, and it is from
there we get our supply. The beans are
brought hither in the pod, and put
through a regular manufacturing pro-
cess to produce the chocolate cakes that
we use. The first operation is the break
ing of the husks and separating them
from the kernels by a blast of air. Then
the beans are ground with sugar by re-
volving granite grindstones. The stones
are heated, and the oil contained in the
bean makes the mass adhere and be-
come a thick paste. This pulp is now
partly dried and the air bubbles are
squeezed out in a press, and it is trans
ferred to the cooling tables. Here it is
beaten and worked by hand to produce
an even texture and a fine grain. Then
it is placed in molds, a blast of cold air Ia
turned on, and in a few moments the
beautiful glossy tablets are finished.
The British government has recently
directed that chocolate be served two or
three times a week in their army and
navy. In confectionery the Parisians ex-
coed us In the number Of preparations of
chocolate. We use 1t in its natural
flavor only, while they mix essences and
other flavors with it, until there is no
end to the combinations that they pro-
duce. In England much of the choco-
late is adulterated. Some recent tests
detected flour, starch, potato, lard, chalk,
bran and old sea biscuit in specimens
offered for sale."-New York Mail and

Queer Names in Chill.

In Chill, as in all other Spanish-Ameri-
can countries, every man and woman is
named after the saint whose anniversary
is nearest the day on which they were
born, and that saint is expected to look
after the welfare of those christened in
his or her honor. These names sound
fine in Spanish, but when they come to
be translated into unpoetic English, there
is an oddity, and often something conf.
cal. about them. For example, the
lame of the recent president of Chill is
Domingo Santa Maria, which being in
terpreted means Sunday st. Mary"
The name of the president of Ecuador is
Jesus Mary Caamanyo (apple), and that
of the governor Of the province of Val
paraiso is Sunday Bull" domingo Tor

swamp. If you nave any fear Of wet
feet, be properly shod before starting. 1t

worth seeing come to you when in a bit
Of wet meadow. By very many, walks
are thought to be enjoyable only in what
is commonly called pleasant weather. II

Daniel Webster took great pains to be
on friendly terms with his rural neigh
bo-s at Franklin, n. H.. and at Marsh
hCll, Mass. One of his Marshfield neigh
'"" thus related his acquaintance with
{ great expounder: II was put in my
Ga1ryard one morning before breakfast
last summer and saw a gentleman in
my cowyard. He apoligized for his in
t%rusion, as he termed it, by saying, i
got out OF my carnage, sir, to look at
your barn cellar. l anu taken with its
plan and structure, and thought / might
gain an idea that I might put in practice
at home. My name is Webster of Marsh
field. L am taking a look round among
my neighbors to see if 1 can learn some
thing about farming 'Oh, Mr.. Web
sterl My name is Collamore. 1 am
happy to see you, Mr.. Webster; won't
you walk in, sir?' Not today, sir, if
you will excuse me. But, Mr.. Cola
more, we are neighbors, not very far
apart, and l should be happy to see you
at my house. 1 am a farmer, in my
way, which is not SO good as that CT my
more experienced neighbors, but we may
find something with which to while away
q Little time on my place. Come down,
Mr.. Collamore, and see me, and bring
nIis' NohatllOre anu your
please to invite them-tackle up, and all
of you come down some pleasant morn
ing and spend the day."
So Mr.. Collamore, his wife and neigh
bors went down. Mr.. Webster led them
all over his farm till they got an appetite
for dinner. 1t was in that year when
flour was SO high. Mr.. Webster attended
to the wants of his guests at table, and
then called upon the servant for a piece
of bread. He took the bread, remarking
in an old fashioned style: 81 tell my
woman that -four is 80 high we must not
buy only a pillow bier of flour at a time,
nowadays" The idea of this allusion to
old fashioned times was to his guests very
ludicrous, and was one of the incidents
they alluded to when they spoke with
each other of their visit to Marshfield.-
